My t has suggested that I draw or paint so that my little ones can express themselves. I have a difficult time with that. Anything that sounds like play causes me to shut down. I have been thinking about closing my eyes so I can't see what I am drawing than maybe I will not shut down. I have to see. I have some little ones that were afraid and in a corner. They did talk to one of my younger parts. I was able to gain their trust because the younger part encouraged them to trust me. They are out of the corner and close to me now. They have memories I am not ready to see so they still stay to themselves but they know now they are safe. So maybe one of your other parts can talk to her to see what is on her mind. I find the little ones really do want to talk about stuff. But they really need to feel safe.
